'65 Fender Jazzmaster

“I play this Jazzmaster all the time. It’s a ’65, and I really like it. The neck’s been refinished, but I’m gradually scrubbing that off with sandpaper, because I don’t like it when they’re too shiny," says Adrian

“I got this off this guy from Bristol. I played a 335 for years, which I hated – it was just the one I could afford, but it was a nasty one: it didn’t sustain. I’d always hankered after a Jazzmaster, though, so I got this probably five years ago, and it’s my main guitar. I borrowed it first to try it, and then I rang the guy that night and said: ‘I’ll have it.’

The whammy works really well – but I’ve got a shortened bar on there because they’re usually a bit too long for me. I had to change the bridge recently, too: the old one caused terrible buzzing, and there were loads of double notes going on.”
